Will we get a review of Sasha Grey's Neuromancer project?
EDIT: Just read the updates on that post. Not sure there could be much of a review with a straight reading of Neuromancer...but it still sounds pretty damn cool.
why couldn't the ending just be one phone call between case and wintermute/neuromancer kinda / pauley where the AI says hi, asked where molly went, case asks what wintermute/neuromancer kinda /pauley is, the AI responds with some enigmatic line about the sum of all the parts, then laughs in an oddly creepy, completly inhuman way, that reminds case of pauley, which slowly fades to static while the image fades to static with it. (the movie should obviously open with pure static that gradually fades into a gray sky that looks so similar it's hard to tell when it stopped being static and became a sky). #neuromancer
Ah, but how does it open? I want to see the sky tuned to a dead channel.
Little nervous about this. Dude's only done one feature, and it was Torque. Apparently, though, he's a major Blade Runner fan, so at least it will look interesting.
I'm also waiting for if and when it finally does come out for somebody to say "hey, this is just a ripoff of Strange Days and the Matrix! Cameron and the Wachowskis should sue!"
@tetracycloide: For a second I thought you were going to punch me. In any case, I read Neuromancer long after Matrix and Strange Days came out, and I thought, "boy, Gibson is way too nice, considering he didn't sue their asses." I did read an interview where he said he thought the Matrix owed more to PKD, however.
He was in town a couple years ago, and a friend wanted to take his DVD of the Matrix and get it autographed. I think Gibson would laugh. Maybe. #neuromancer
@SJ_Edwards: He's a smartass, but he's not stupid.
The line from Gibson about the Matrix was something like "it was a PKD story with Neuromancer's fashion sense." I think he's a little more stoical about it than Ellison was about Terminator. (at the very least the Wachowskis didn't go around bragging about how they stole the idea).
As well, if Gibson was indeed going to sue, he'd have to wait in line behind Grant Morrison and that lady who actually did sue. #neuromancer
@Wookie1972: I like that line :)
[well it's Gibson, isn't it?]
I think he was always much more concious of his role in drawing on the cultural zeitgeist of '70s and '80s British tribal and punk ethos, that he had immersed himself in when he was a voracious reader of the NME (New Musical Express) and the cross cultural influences on that, from Japanese pop and pre-otaku subculture and Californian surfer, skater, tech and geek subcultures and the feedback loop between them all.
Now he can afford (morally, and hopefully financially) to just shrug and say to himself:
It was there at the start,
I was one of the first to realize it,
I was one of the first to write it,
In writing it I changed it,
I made it something more.
That's what's there at the start for others. #neuromancer
i don't care if they do porn or not.doesnot matter to me as i am an adult.i donot watch porn movies but to each his own they say.
i am glad though to see another porn star getting legit non-porn scifi work.
and yes if you watch the pg version of the porn trek xxx movie it is pretty cool what they did.a fun parody of a fun show. #neuromancer
I like to keep an open mind about these things. Being in porn should not be a barrier of entry for so-called "legitimate" acting. Also, Sasha Grey was pretty funny in this "PG porno" (NSFW for language and inuendo, but no nudity or sex): [www.spike.com]#neuromancer
@Dash_Stryker: And besides, 9 is generally considered to have been a return to the emotional depth and directorial clarity that made the original trilogy such a critical success. #neuromancer
